³ Our God is in heaven
    doing whatever He chooses.
⁴ Those nations worship idols of silver and gold,
    crafted by human hands:
⁵ They have given their gods mouths, but they cannot speak;
    eyes, but they cannot see.
⁶ They have provided their idols with ears, but they cannot hear;
    noses, but they cannot smell.
⁷ They have fashioned hands, but the idols cannot reach out and touch;
    feet, but they cannot walk.
    Their idols cannot make a sound in their finely crafted throats.
⁸ The people who make idols will become useless like them,
    like all who trust in idols.

⁹ O Israel, put your trust in the Eternal.
    He is their helper and defender.
¹⁰ O family of Aaron, put your trust in the Eternal.
    He is their helper and defender.
¹¹ All who fear and know the Eternal, put your trust in Him.
    He is their helper and defender.

¹² The Eternal has remembered us, and He will bless us.
    He will bless the people of Israel.
    He will bless the priestly family of Aaron.
¹³ The Eternal will bless those who worship and stand in awe of Him,
    from the least to the greatest.

¹⁴ May the Eternal prosper your family,
    growing both you and your descendants.
¹⁵ May the blessings of the Eternal,
    maker of heaven and earth, be on you.

¹⁶ The heavens above belong to the Eternal,
    and yet earth in all of its beauty has been given to humanity by Him.
¹⁷ The dead do not praise the Eternal,
    nor do any who descend into the silent grave.
¹⁸ But we will praise and bless You—our Eternal One—
    today and forever.
Praise the Eternal!
